[Written Review] NordVPN

Virtual Private Networks are used for privacy and protecting users from online fraud.

There are lots of VPNs who are claiming we hide and protect your privacy but it’s not true, if you really hide our privacy, then why do we receive unknown emails about promotion of unidentified products?

The answer is clear, they are selling user data. I am not talking about all VPN, but some are. NordVPN is one of the best VPN who really protect your privacy and hide your identity.

NO LOGS:

A privacy policy is very important, if you think about your online privacy. I read the terms and conditions of most VPN, and all VPN mention how they use the data which is collected from their customer. But NordVPN believes in NO LOGS.Double Security:

VPN encrypt your connection when you are connected to their server, but NordVPN has special option, called Double VPN. It passes your connection to one country’s server to another country’s server using encrypted tunneling protocol.

Dedicated IP Address:

I like dedicated IP address very much because of its benefits. Normally shared IP is blocked by many websites, because of reasons like online fraud. NordVPN offers dedicated IP addresses from four countries with good speed. Some times its speed is down, but don’t forget they strictly keep in mind your privacy and security.

Benefits of a dedicated IP address:

Banking
Gaming
Authentications
Remotely access your server, etc

Support:

The part I really like, which I found only in few VPN is a fast response time. Nord is one of them, and offers email support. Their online chat is ready to help, when you need it you can live chat with them

Speed:

After you connect to a VPN, the connection speed is mostly slow and your internet experience will be unhappy. When I tested NordVPN, I feel I am not connected with any VPN, but trust me I was connected to their server during this speed test. I have a 2mbps internet plan, and I got a good speed test result, but I am bit sad with the upload speed. I don’t know if it’s my internet issue or if it’s the VPN.

Kill Switch:

A feature which is important in VPNs. A few among us don’t know about the “kill switch”. When your VPN disconnects from the server, it blocks your Internet to keep your online identity safe. Some VPN don’t have this feature, and you may think you am safe, but your activity is open publicly.

NordVPN has an additional feature that is called “App Kill switch”. This feature allows you to set kill option for specific applications when the VPN disconnects from the server, and it disconnects your internet.

Number of Devices:

Most good VPNs restrict users to only use a certain number of devices, and Nord also has limited devices support. But it supports 6 simultaneous connections, instead of 2 or 3 devices at the same time. And you can use it on platform like Windows, MAC, Android, Linux and etc.

Locations:

NordVPN has servers in 60+ countries and 3000+ servers, so you can easily choose the best or nearest location and server for the best speeds.

​

VPNs mean security of privacy and freedom on the internet, and NordVPN ensures this even while you are using public Wi-Fi. Usually there is more danger than leaking username and password of your email, once attackers access your PC on public wifi, he can get everything he wants, your private photos, videos, online conversation, bank details, he can even listen to what are you talking on Skype or any app like it.

NordVPN has a lot of features and I would like to show you the images, where you will easily understand how much they are providing in the price pack.

Now we come to my favorite part, the PROS & CONS.

PROS:

· NO LOGS.

· Double Security.

· Dedicated IP address.

· Quick and good Support. (Live Chat & Emails)

· Fast Speed.

· Kill Switch.

· 6 Simultaneous connections.

· Servers in 60+ countries.

· 3000+ servers.

· DNS Leak Protection.

· IPv6 support.

CONS:

· Price is high for the monthly plan.

· I don’t like using my email address as the username.

CONCLUSION:

We think NordVPN is one of the best VPN. It has many features which I like very much like dedicated IP, double VPN, Anti DDoS and etc. At this price point, you will get many other VPN, but their service will not be like Nord’s.

So let me see there people who don't like it when you download illegal stuff, so what should they do about it, or how do they fight against this? I know, lets build a software which hides your ip address that way they can find out what sites are providing the illegal stuff and how to be able to shut them down, NO ?

I have over 200MB/sec connection but in my laptop the OpenVPN encrypted speed goes down 4 - 5 times.

If one uses OpenVPN encryption in an ordinary modem - it's up to 10 timers slower.

If one has many devices (30+ in my household, not all of them on at the same time) this may be a struggle...

So, one must have a capable PC as modem/router and carefully do it all...

Lots of learning...

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another." I.

I bought NordVPN to overcome the SKYPE blocking here in the UAE. I downloaded the program, and could never get a connection on skype here, and was unable to do anything on the internet at all. NordVPN sent me a rather lengthy support document, and I literally spent a few months trying to get it to work. Finally I gave up, installed a competitor’s VPN and instantly had crystal-clear SKYPE connections. NordVPN may be a great platform elsewhere in the world, but for the UAE, it is totally ineffective.
